REPORT
It has been apparent for a number of years that developments are gradually getting taller. This can have a detrimental effect on the quality of life in general. There needs to be tighter restrictions and guidelines for building over 5 storeys. On the Esplanade Quarter there has been a steady incremental creep on the height of buildings, each one going up by one storey on the last.
Financial and manpower implications
There are no financial or manpower implications for the States arising from this amendment.
